Mecum Auctions’ “Florida Summer Special” to be held July 10-13 in Kissimmee will feature 1500 cars, as well as these two amusement park rides from the 1940s.
Sure, you already have a Bugatti, a couple Ferraris, and a Duesenberg, but none of those can fly into space, blasting aliens the whole way. Well, now your collection can be complete.Mecum Auctions’ “Florida Summer Special” July 10-13 in Kissimmee will feature 1500 cars, but the only ones you want are these two right here. Described only as “1940s Amusement Park Rocket Rides” and “Road Art,” there is precious little additional info available.
Do these come from Area 51? We don’t know…The rockets appear to be in good condition, ready for flight to Mars, Pluto, or wherever aliens threaten civilization. Seating is back-to-back, with guns mounted at each end, the better to defend the universe. Naturally, flames adorn the front, no doubt suggesting friction from atmospheric re-entry. Fins on the back imply stability as the atmosphere thickens. Each is six feet long and two feet in diameter, just right for little space rangers.
